Formerly called the Berners Hotel and soaked in history being a classical
building that dates back to 1835, it was converted to a hotel in 1904 from the 5
existing houses. In 2006 the Berners Hotel closed for major refurbishment,
however its owners JJW Hotels and Resorts went into administration and the hotel
was still under scaffolding when bought by Marriott International for in excess of £60 million pounds
(beating 40 other bids) in 2010. Marriott then partnered with Ian Schrager (of Studio
54 in New York and St martins Lane and Sanderson hotels in London fame) to
create a boutique style hotel under the 'Edition' brand. The London Edition
will be totally rebuilt and the work is scheduled to take up to 2 years which
places the new opening as The London edition Hotel late 2012 or early 2013.
